Photo by @michaelclarkphoto // Staring at the universe while hiking into Great Sand Dunes National Park near Alamosa, Colorado last week. The dunes here are giant and require a pretty stiff hike to get up and over. I wanted to capture sunrise on the dunes which necessitated an hour long hike in the dark trying to figure out what was a ridge and what was a valley on a series of dunes. It is a spectacular setting with huge dunes right in front of the Sangre de Cristo range in Colorado. #sanddunes #greatsanddunes #greatsanddunesnationalpark #colorado
